  • Listen Next - Global National with Dawna Friesen | Arctic sovereignty and security under threat; Like a good neighbour, Yukon is there

    04/11/2025

    Global News / Curiouscast

    The Canadian territories have long been aware of the importance of Canada's Arctic sovereignty and security. Now the rest of the country is starting to pay attention, too. Dawna Friesen reports from Whitehorse on how Russia and China's increased Arctic presence, as well as the unreliability of the U.S., has thrust Canada's North into the geopolitical spotlight. She also speaks with Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai about what he wants Ottawa to do. And Dawna drives across the border to Skagway, Alaska, where she speaks with residents about the importance of a strong Canada-U.S. relationship, and hears what Alaskans are afraid of losing with their neighbours in Yukon. On the campaign trail: how the Liberals' pledge to crack down on crime is drawing comparisons to the Conservatives' plan. Plus, how Pierre Poilievre is promising to slash housing development costs, and how he's responding to sliding poll numbers. And why U.S. President Donald Trump is being accused of insider training.

<p><strong>The Nicks debate nerdy names for Nicholas' yet-to-be-born son.

He knows more than he lets on initially and when tension is high none other than Butterbur comes bursting in finally delivering a letter for Frodo from GANDALF that he meant to deliver months ago.  Gandalf lobbies for Striders inclusion in the company, calling him by his true name "Aragorn" and the Hobbits agree to trust him.  Merry finally returns from his walk after being fetched by Nobb and tells us that the Black Riders are in Bree!  Strider helps them set decoys in their proper room and our hobbits drift off as night settles in and danger is closing!</span></p> <p><strong>Where Are We in the Narrative?:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Frodo and his companions have come all the way to Bree without the help of anyone, except Farmer Maggot and Tom Bombadil - now out of the Shire and in entirely new lands for any living Shire Hobbit save Bilbo the companions have taken on a new guide - Strider. With a little faith and a letter from Gandalf, and the almost certainty that they have no other choice their new companion plans to get them lost as soon as possible on road toward Weathertop and then toward Rivendell.</span></p> <p><strong>The Story in this Chapter:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Crickhollow attacked - 3 Black Riders</span></li> <li style="list-style: none; display: inline"> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">AWAKE !
